Look for the boot scripts in /sbin/init.d in S.u.S.E 6.1. I think there

does anyone now how i can use cdrecord or other tool to make a
multi session cd RW disks, and read afterwards?
I already use cdrecord in this way: "tar cf - *|cdrecord .... -".
This works fine.
I tought i could use the "-multi" option of cdrecord to do this many
times, and in this way create, let's say incremental backups, and
afterwards select the track i want...
It didn't work (not that i know)
Is there a way to do this? Creating multiple tracs at different times,
and afterwards being able to choose the one i need?
Thanks in advance!

Subject: Outu of Memory without diagnostics
Date: 01 Jul 1999 00:56:08 +0200
Hi,
I have one observation and one proposition I would like to discuss.
Several weeks ago, we set up a NIS/NFS server based on a Intel486
SCISI system, 32MB RAM. It worked fine, very low load, only that every
day or two days it stopped to work.
No kernel panic, no syslog messages, no warm reboot. Sometimes error
messages from user space or kernal space, always different.
We changed network card, switched off NFS, many other things.
Then I logged the memory state and we realized that we had configured
the box with only 460 kB swap space, not 16MB as we did want to.
We changed that and all worked fine.
Now my question, why did this did'nt raise a kernel panic, a syslog
waring, or something like that? It is clear to me that the kernel
cannot work without a minimum of memory, but why is there no warning?

Do not, and I repeat do not compare the Lexmark 3000 with the
3200. The 3000 was really the big brother if you will of the business
edition 1020. These two were amongst the few, if not the only Lexmark
inkjet printers to have on-board emulation (PCL3 - HP 500/500C) on them.
The differnce between the 3000 & 1020 is that the 3000 went (I believe) 5
pages per minute black while the 1020 went 3.5. Plus, the 3000 was able
to hold two full sized cartridges (one color/one black) whereas the 1020
was only a single cartridge printer. Both went 600x300dpi.
The 3200 is a completely different beast altogether, no on-board
emulation. Goes 6 pages per minuate black, and completely destroy's the
other two in photo printing (1200x1200dpi).

SuSE is my distribution of choice, but the easiest Linux install
award goes to Caldera with their OpenLinux 2.2. Completely graphical and
if you get the commercial version (same price range as SuSE 6.1) than you
also get a customized version of Partition Magic.

If there's a way to automatically re-make the iBCS module when you
compile a new kernel and modules, I haven't found it, on RedHat 6.0 or
S.u.S.E. 6.1.
Get the ibcs2 source ono the hard drive with rpm, unzip and untar it,
copy CONFIG.i386 to CONFIG in the ibcs directory the tar xvf will
create, edit CONFIG to tell it the path to your source code,
/usr/lib/linux-2.2.5-15 (probably), then do make and make install. If
you rebuild the kernel again, do make and make install again. make
install should put iBCS in /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/misc. Then you can do
insmod iBCS manually or in a boot-up file such as rc.local.

I read your page about the 32 bits architecture limitation, actually
your page is very well documented for all kernel features.
In my case, it is just for being able to create a tar file > 2gb, so if
the only thing to do is to recompile tar under the 2.2.x with the latest
GNU C compiler, that is not that big of a deal.
But I still miss information about this patch itself, it can be in beta
or alpha, I want to give it a try. I mount a RAID5 disk array on
/dev/sda3, there, I only have backup files from other systems, and one
of this file needs to be > 2Gb. I hope the patch doesn't involved to
re-mkfs the partition.
Any information on this unobtainable patch will be very appreciate.

This is more the DOS way to do it.
To mount the floppy, it needs a supported file system, usually the
ext2 system.
Try /sbin/mkfs.ext2 -m 0 /dev/fd0 and then
mount /dev/fd0
my /etc/fstab says:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/flop ext2 rw,noauto,user,\
check=strict,errors=remount-ro 0 0
(Continuation line at "\")
Note, some disk formats (like 1.44 MB) are detected automatically, but
others need the proper device file. Personally I feel that
custom-formatted floppys are to complicated to handle, I use only 1.44
MB now.
Use the mount option errors=remount-ro in fstab so that you do not
cause a kernel panic if the disk is bad (I think distributions should
set this to default)

File deletion is governed by the permissions of the directory containing
the file. Since all members of group acct have write access to the
directory, they can delete files in the directory. The acct group can't
write to the files in question, they can only write to the directory "file".
Deleting a file is a write to the directory not a write to the file being
deleted.
You can prevent users from deleting files in a directory by setting the
directory's "sticky bit" using chmod. The command would be something
like:
chmod o+s dirname
Check man and info on chmod for details.

You miss very important point. Basic is old language which uses
almost same level of abstraction as C. In some areas (like recursion,
switch statement and for loop) C even higher level language than basic.
Not to mention C++.
But perl is uncomparable with them. There are a lot of tasks which can
be done with perl one-liner. I hope you would not argue, that overhead
of parsing _one_ line is negilgible.
So, perl program is typically ten times smaller that equivalent C
program, and this makes one-time parsing overhead bearable.
Note also that all modern interpreter languages are not true
interpreters - they compile script upon startup in some highly optimized
intermeditate representation.
And last, but most important: speed of execution doesn't matter at all.
There are other bottlenecks - disk IO (where perl script always
benefits, becouse it is smaller, and perl interpreter is usially already
in memory, especially on busy web server), network throughput, database
operations etc.
Due to these limitation, using C program as CGI script doesn't improve
performance, but addes you a lot of headache - you need compilier, you
need to know subtle porting issues which are already solved by huge
configure script of perl, you need to do you own _memory management_!!!
I agree to cope with mallocs and frees when I write a program which
should work on 640K MS-DOS machine, or when I write something like SQL
server. But worry about such an issues writing CGI script!!!
Why the hell did people invent garbage collection?

For directories, it is the number of files contained in the
directory. Because each directory containes "." (itself) and ".." (the
parent directory), for directories the link count is 2 at least.
The link count may be pratical e.g. if you want to make sure a file
you delete has other links. Your may also verify that no other user
has a link to a file. If you find other links you would have to search
the whole file system (with ls -i and find -inum), but you can also
set the permissions unreadable, unwritable for others, and zero out
the file.

Using an internal Olitec modem in a p133. Linixconf detects it but i don't seem
to be able to 'talk' to it.
i've configured an external modem on a mac running linuxppc R4 using netcfg and
kppp.
On the pc kpp detects nothing. I know the modem is crap but ppp does usually
care. Thanks for your help
